Researchers Develop Coating Material from TiO2 Nanocrystals to Produce Light-sensitive, Rewritable System.

Researchers develop TiO2 nanocrystal coating material to create light-sensitive and rewritable system

Researchers have succeeded in developing a coating material that can be written on with UV light and then removed with oxygen. Adjustments on rewritable paper can help reduce paper waste in a variety of settings. Image credit: Wiley-VCH and Angewandte Chemie. According to the diary applied chemistrythe substance consists of three non-toxic components and is …

How the moonlight tunes the reproduction of animals

Credit: Unsplash / CC0 Public Domain Animals have circadian clocks or 24-hour oscillators that regulate daily behavior. They usually take stimuli from periodic changes of sunlight and darkness. However, many animals are also exposed to moonlight, which repeats with a periodicity of ~ 25 hours. Florian Raible Laboratories at Max Perutz Laboratories, a joint venture …
